    “In a Monday meeting with evangelical leaders at the White House, President Trump reportedly warned of violence against conservative Christians if the GOP loses in November. Evangelicals, he said, were “one election away from losing everything.”

    As evangelicals, we would do well to correct the president on this point. If an election can cause us to lose everything, what is it exactly that we have in the first place? ...

    The only Christian nation in the world today is the one gathered “from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9) to be addressed by its king. In his Great Commission, Jesus gave authority to the church to make disciples, not citizens; to proclaim the gospel, not political opinions; to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, not in the name of America or a political party; and to teach everything that he delivered, not our own personal and political priorities. And he promised that his presence with us is something that the world can never take away.

    Anyone who believes, much less preaches, that evangelical Christians are “one election away from losing everything” in November has forgotten how to sing the psalmist’s warning, “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save” (Ps. 146:3).”

    I think that hios point was that we would have the real danger of losing all of our spiritual freedoms under the American of the dems party!

    Ok. So now that every socialist statement you make gets beat with facts, you now want nobody to put up political opinions.

    Wow. The hypocrisy is strong with this one. If you really believed this claptrap, you would have no objection to the Trump administration whatever, but Richard Wurmbrand would disagree with you. So would William Tyndale.

    What is at stake when justice is perverted (which seems to be your desire) is peace and safety, a benefit for which we're commanded to work for in our societies and to ask for in our prayers for those who govern.

    And justice comes only through the application of God's law.
